Our taste buds were asking for some Indian food, so without hesitation, we headed over to 5th Elementt Restaurant on Queen Street. I've been to 5th Elementt for Summerlicious in 2011 and had such a good experience that any excuse to return was a good one.

Oddseoul has been on my list of snackbars to try since it opened. As the second restaurant by the Han brothers (Swish by Han), it was getting great reviews and press. I've only heard great things about their first restaurant, so when this late-night-eatery was opened, I was dying to try it. I finally got my chance to go last Friday after work for some food & drinks.

After hearing about how awesome the new Italian restaurant with a killer patio was, I had to try it out for myself. Osteria Dei Ganzi, better known as Ganzi Toronto is right on Jarvis St. and Wellesley. It's about a 5-10 minute walk from Wellesley Station. We went at an awkward time of 2:30pm for a late lunch, so there weren't too many people as the kitchen closes at 3pm. I actually liked that it wasn't busy and we were able to enjoy ourselves freely.

My dinner at Crush Wine Bar ends my 2013 Summerlicious
adventures. I think I did pretty well
this year given a hectic work schedule and just overall lack of energy after a
day at the office. I managed to try 3 different places and I just realized I
had fish as a main for all three of them… I guess my appetite for fish dishes
is growing.

I've been to Ciao Wine Bar a few times and had both good and not-so-good experiences. However, I always find myself returning here and recommending this Italian Restaurant/ Wine bar to my friends. For the most recent dinner I had there with a girlfriend, we had a great time with some delicious pizza, pasta and wine.

Birthdays are always a reason to celebrate! Why not reduce
the stress of having to plan out food at a birthday and have a potluck! It’s
the best of both worlds. A creative way to jazz up a birthday pot luck is by
asking your guests to bring something creative like our friend Bryan did for
his 25th birthday.

Take a look at what people came up with! Consider this a Food Sisterhood's Guide to Throwing Potlucks:

Trying new restaurants during Summerlicious could be a risk but after visiting Wildfire Steakhouse & Wine Bar for lunch, we were impressed at all three courses of the menu, their friendly staff and the beautiful interior.

Located just South Yonge st. and York Mills, it's easily accessible by car or public transportation. We immediately fell in love with this area as we walked to the restaurant.

With Summerlicious finally here in Toronto, Clara and I were super excited to try a few restaurants that we haven't been to. The very first visit was to the Globe Bistro on the Danforth (at Broadview Station) right before you hit Greektown. Looking at the menu, we went with high expectations.

As a post-birthday meetup, my friend and I decided to go for some Afternoon Tea since we were meeting at an awkward mid-afternoon time. Luckily for us, Annona at the Park Hyatt Yorkville had tea service starting at 3pm, which was perfect.

Park Hyatt is located on Avenue Road and Bloor St., which is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Toronto. There's so many shops and boutiques to check out before tea time at Annona.

It was pretty hard to believe we could keep on eating but our stomachs were very accommodating that day. You don't get very many opportunities like this to try so many different kinds of culinary creation!

Still in shock that we ate all that food within such a small time frame. Thank goodness all the portions were small and we split it between a few of us so we could try more! That idea definitely paid off in the end!

It's not everyday that I can say I've tried 18 culinary treats within 2 hours and in a space smaller than football field. Luckily for my friends and I, T.O Food Fest made it happen! It's an annual culinary event that just successfully completed their second year.
